Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 157 Patronage
Mai Xiang talked about it, but Uladomin still sent Wanxia to go out with Mai Xiang, and of course, there was a carriage.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Liulichang Street, Mai Xiang took Wan Xia and walked in. Although he saw many kite sellers along the way, he did not find Huai Ci.

Mai Xiang couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, thought for a while, and said, "Sister Wanxia, ​​you go back first, I want to see someone, and I'll go back to Fujin's house by myself in the evening."

"This can't be done, Fujin will blame me if he finds out." Wan Xia hurriedly waved her hands.

"Forget it then." Mai Xiang had no choice but to give up.

She didn't want Wanxia to follow her to find Huaici. If Wanxia knew, Uladomin would definitely know. Based on Uladomin's current concern for Mai Xiang, she would definitely not allow Mai Xiang to associate with a foreigner, even though That was Mai Xiang's savior.

"Why don't I accompany the girl to Qianmen Street to play, there are so many things and it's very lively, you can buy whatever you want, and send it to your friend later, and I will accompany the girl back when I'm done, okay?" Wanxia proposed. A compromise solution.

"Okay." Mai Xiang still remembers that when she came last time, Uladomin took her to Qianmen Street, where there are many shops, there are many well-known and time-honored stores, and it is the most prosperous business district in Beijing.Smaller shops there cost thousands of taels of silver.

When Mai Xiang and Wanxia were standing on Qianmen Street, Mai Xiang understood why Wanxia proposed to come to Qianmen, because she rarely had the opportunity to go out for shopping, so she was more excited than Mai Xiang when she saw the shops on both sides of the street.

"Miss Mai Xiang, let's go into this silver building and have a look. I've been wearing pearl flowers on my head for several years. Let's see what's fashionable now?"

"Miss Mai Xiang, let's go, there is a clothing store here, let's see what nice fabrics are available."

"Miss Mai Xiang, I heard that this restaurant is good, so the maid took the girl to try something new."

. . .

Only then did Mai Xiang know why Ziju envied the maids of rich families. It turned out that the maids of rich families were considered rich women when they were ready. In addition to Wanxia's monthly money of one or two silver coins, Fujin and Lord Belle would pay her back from time to time. I will reward her with something, and if there is a big happy event in the mansion, the reward will be very generous.

Mai Xiang followed her all the way down and spent a lot of money. She bought a pair of silver bracelets for Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Li, and a pair of small longevity locks for Mrs. Mai Huang, Mrs. Qing and Mrs. Mai. Hey, when he was one year old last time, Mai Xiang had already given him a silver collar.

In a cloth store, Mai Xiang hesitated for a long time, but she bought a piece of blue pure cotton cloth. She wanted to make clothes for Huai Ci. Since she said they were brother and sister, it would not be an exaggeration for the younger sister to make clothes for her brother. ?

"Mai Xiang, why are you here?" Mai Xiang ran into an acquaintance as soon as she came out of the cloth shop.

"It's you? Brother Dunmin?" Mai Xiang was a little surprised.

Dun Min looked at the sunset beside Mai Xiang, and asked, "Are you here to play at Gongbeile Mansion?"

"How do you know?" Mai Xiang remembered that she didn't seem to have mentioned it to anyone. Even Cao Xueqin and Liu Huilan didn't know who Mai Xiang was in contact with.

"I also guessed randomly, it really is you. A few days ago Gong Baylor found me and found me a job, so I have to thank you." Dun Min laughed.

"Congratulations, big brother, but did big brother thank the wrong person? If you want to thank, you should thank the Lord." Mai Xiang knew that it was not easy for these idle clans to find a job sometimes.

Dun Min smiled again and said, "At first I didn't know that you were the rightful lord. I was wondering how I had never been in touch with Gongbeile's mansion, so why did I suddenly find me? After thinking about it carefully, they asked me about Chang Chang Isn't Ling betting with you just for your sake?"

Mai Xiang also remembered now. On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, in her own restaurant, Mai Xiang mentioned to Uradomin about Chang Ling that the Dunmin brothers helped her out. Sir, life is very ordinary.

Mai Xiang didn't expect that Uladomin would remember these two people with her casual remarks. Yongen found these two people not long after returning, and introduced an errand to Dunmin. I'm still young and still studying, so let's forget it for now.

So it is not an exaggeration for Dun Min to say that Yong En arranged the errand for Mai Xiang.

Dun Min originally wanted to ask about the relationship between Mai Xiang and Yong En, but stopped when he saw the maid beside Mai Xiang.

After Dun Min left, Wan Xia looked at the man and asked, "Does Miss Mai Xiang want to see him?"

"No, I just met by chance."

After Mai Xiang finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. If Yong En could give Dun Min a job for the sake of helping Mai Xiang out of a siege, why not find a job for Mai Xiang's savior, Huai Ci? Or provide some real help?
Did Yong En forget or did Huai Ci not accept it?Or did Huai Ci accept it without telling Mai Xiang?

Thinking of this, Mai Xiang was in no mood to go shopping anymore, she wanted to go back and ask Uladomin for clarification.

"Sister, sister, I'm back." Mai Xiang shouted as soon as she entered the second door.

"What a child, remember, don't shout, shout, jump and jump when you enter the door." Uladomin greeted him from the room and stood at the door with a smile on his face.

"It's okay, I'm not a lady, so I don't have to abide by these rules." Mai Xiang stepped forward and held the other party's hand.

"Nonsense, my sister is still waiting for you to learn the rules and find you a good family in the future."

"Sister, how old am I? Can you tell me this?" Mai Xiang rolled her eyes.

"You, you, just make me angry." Uladomin couldn't answer Mai Xiang's question, so he could only laugh.

"When Fujin and Miss Mai Xiang met, they talked and laughed every time. It seems that Miss Mai Xiang will come more often in the future, so that Fujin's life will be happier." Wanxia laughed.

"That's not what I said, I just realized how lucky I am to have this younger sister." Uladomin touched Mai Xiang's face and said.

"Sister, I have something to say..."

Before Mai Xiang could finish her sentence, she saw A Mu Xin coming out of the house.

"My sister forgets my old sister when she has a new sister, and the new sister forgets my old sister when she has a new sister."
"Look at me, I was so busy talking to Mai Xiang that I forgot that there was another person in the room." Uladomin grabbed Amusin's hand.

Mai Xiang had already stepped forward to hug A Muxin, and said with a smile: "Ge Ge, who said I forgot you? I was thinking of giving Ge Ge some special gift when I was shopping just now. I bought everything back, I was planning to go back to work all night, and I will send it to you tomorrow."

"Come on, who are you fooling? If I don't come to see you, can you come and see me?" Amu Xin pouted.

"Hey, are you still sour? Let me tell you Gege, you have a bad temper and you are going to get married soon. In the days to come, why don't you soak in vinegar all day?" Mai Xiang finished speaking. Touched A Muxin's face, then immediately let her go and ran away.

"Die, if I don't tear your mouth off today, I'm not Amusin." Amusin chased after her, but unfortunately she was wearing flower pot sole shoes, how could she catch up with Mai Xiang?
Mai Xiang hid behind Uladomin, and begged for mercy while smiling: "Good Gege, Xin Gege, sister Xin, good sister, please forgive me, and I will definitely give you a good gift later."

After hearing this, Uladomin smiled and said: "Ling Li, I should also hit you a few times for her. You are only so old, and you dare to speak out when you have nothing to say. Is it okay?"

"Then sister still doesn't make a move?" Amu Xin chased for a few laps but failed to catch up with Mai Xiang, standing panting.

"Okay, I'll clean her up for you." After Uladomin finished speaking, he pulled Mai Xiang out, patted Mai Xiang twice, and smoothed Mai Xiang's hair.

"Sister, you are biased, I don't follow." Amu Xin stomped her feet.

"It's so lively at home today, I heard laughter inside as soon as I entered the gate." Yong En came in from the door and said with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, you came just in time, my sister and Mai Xiang bullied me together, who are you helping?" Amusin asked.

"I don't participate in your women's struggle." Yong En shook his head with a smile.

Fortunately, when Amu heard that Yong En came back, he seemed to have something to say to Uladomin, so he said to Mai Xiang, "I almost forgot the business, my mama knew you were coming, so I specially sent me to pick you up."

After hearing this, Yong En paused when he was about to enter the house, and turned to look at Amu Xin and Mai Xiang.

"How did your Mama know I'm here?" Mai Xiang asked.

"I sent someone to pick up Amu Xin, I guess you two should have something to say." Uladomin said.

"Actually, I should really thank her old man." Mai Xiang thought of the cherry trees in her yard, and besides, she still had a question in her mind that she couldn't solve.

Mai Xiang didn't get an answer from Yong En, but as to who kidnapped her, Mai Xiang had a candidate in her heart. If she wasn't an ordinary nighter, then the one who kidnapped her must be an acquaintance, and the acquaintances are nothing more than these few One is from the Baylor Mansion, and the other is from the University Scholars Mansion. As for Hong Rong, Mai Xiang thinks it is unlikely.

Because Mai Xiang behaved in front of Hong Rong as just a little clever, and could do some novel things, but these things were not shocking.As far as the scholar's office is concerned, Mai Xiang's dream about Agui's prosperity and Mai Xiang's delivery of Uladomin are both unbelievable and unbelievable.

As for the reason why they kidnapped him, Mai Xiang guessed that he just wanted to know if he had any other abilities and if he could really keep his mouth shut.

"Minmin, I can't do much today anyway, the weather is so good, why don't you go with Mai Xiang on this trip, it just so happens that someone sent some crates of prawns today, all of them are still alive and kicking, I'm planning to send someone to Send it to relatives." Yong En said when he heard that Mai Xiang was going to enter the scholar's residence.

"It's okay, I haven't seen Mama for a while." Uladomin responded quickly.
